Love For Dogs and Hate For Cats

Authors Note: This is my piece on my love for dogs and hate for kitties.  This was for writing circles/ class piece.

I love dogs with all my heart!  Their fur/hair is silky smooth.  Also, dogs slobber is so cute!  They act like owners of the house.  When I was with my dog one time, I was playing my clarinet.  She just went crazy!  Her howling was very loud and high pitched. I don’t know why she was acting this way, but I think she was trying to tell me to shut up.  Oh well.  See this is how dogs act like owners.  Next, their fur/hair.   The texture is so nice feeling.  Unless it smells bad, then you don’t want to pet the dog, because you don’t want your hand to smell that way.  The slobber!  It’ so cute how they just walk around and drool!  Overall, dogs are just awesome pets!  They are great companions to have in your home,and just to have in your life.


Cats are way to lazy!  All they do is just sit around all day ad get fat!  Dogs are more energetic than cats are.  Cats just clean themselves in front of you and it's gross!  Dog's do too, but it's cute when dogs do it, because they are so big and great!  Another reason cats are awful, because they always pur in your face and they poop indoors.  You  can smeel it, from another room!  Dogs go outside so it doesn't smell bad in your house.  Lastly, cats are harder to train than dogs are.  I love dogs, and hate cats!

Six Flags

Six Flags
 
Author’s Note: I went to six flags with band.  I am going to be telling you about my experience there.  And how all the rides were really fun!

I recently went to six flags for a band trip.  It was really fun because I went on Raging Bull, American Eagle, Demon, Superman, little dipper. and the swings.  Raging bull is pretty much just a really big drop and a really fast drop.  It’s such a thrill though because of the drop and speed this roller coaster has.  I really like how you turn fast and sideways at the same time.  Next, American Eagle.  You go fast down drops and then slowly circle up, then drop consistently until you finish the ride.  Demon is one where you go upside down twice and fast.  It’s really fun because of the loops.  The next roller coaster we went on was Superman.  This one is really different from the other ones.  You are literally laying on your stomach on the ride.  Then you go up, up, and up.  Then you go down curving and then loop and loop.  This one is my favorite because of the fact that you are laying down and how fast it is.  I get thrilled on this ride.  Overall the trip was amazing!

Friendship

Friendship is difficult at times, because you don’t know who likes you.

You can have excellent or appalling memories with friends.

You can always laugh with a friend, because you know that they will (almost) always laugh back.

Friends can be annoying at times, like when they try to steal your BEST friend, or when they try to make you jealous with becoming (or trying) to steal your BEST friend.

Sometimes you can be sad with a friend, or without one, but in the end, friends always have each others backs.

But on the contrary, you can feel happy with a friend there, or if you just let one go, I bet later you will feel like it was a BIG relief.

“1,2,3, the yogurt dance, 1,2,3,4,‼ The yogurt Dance‼”

That little jingle would be Sophie and I’s little pleased memory about yogurt.

You can probably relate to being angry with a friend, just because that’s how the world is.

Or even, your confused about if they really like you for who you are,

or if they are just using you to get to another friend.

A friend is someone who you can trust, and someone you can spill out all your guts to.  And they won’t end up telling anybody your deep, dark, secrets.

That's what I call friendship.

 

Pickles and Cucumbers Aganist Eachother

Authors Note: Cucumbers and pickles are alike and different.  I like them both though.  We wrote this for my writing circles group.  We thought it would be creative and a fun topic to write about.

Cucumber and pickles are yummy!  A cucumber is just a baby pickle waiting to become an adult.  Pickle’s have more flav a flav than cucumbers do.  Although, pickles are yummier, cucumbers are healthier for you.  You can eat cucumbers with ranch, salt, pepper, and salt and pepper.  On the side of pickles, you can eat them with peanut butter, plain, or on the side of a burger or a sloppy joe.  I like pickles better because they have more flavor like I said before, and they add more ting to your tongue.  Cucumbers just don’t have the same zing when you eat them.  They do have taste just not as much.  I still do love them both!

Drilling In Alaska for Oil

Authors Note: Imagine a beautiful place in Alaska.  And think of only a little portion of it getting torn down.  People are over thinking it and blowing this whole situation out of proportion. It’s not that bad of a thing.

How would drilling in Alaska affect us?  It a question that makes you wonder.  A lot of people have been wondering about this situation and how it will affect us.  Well, should we? We should drill in Alaska for oil for many reasons.

First of all, if we do drill for oil in Alaska, it may bring in over a billion dollars.  So therefore, it would be a very good thing.  Also, since our economy isn’t the greatest, this could really help by boosting it up because it could bring in about 4.2 billion dollars in the first five years.  I would like this money coming in to our country because then it would give our government a boost as well as our economy. But what else could it do?

Secondly, if we do end up drilling in Alaska, we promised the Native’s that live there, that we will preserve their environment.  If they believe us, why can’t we drill?  We would only be taking away 1.5 million acres of ANWR.  Which is only 8%.  It leaves 92% or 17.5 million acres left that they have to their selves.  They will have plenty of acres to use for their own personal use.  Next, the social part.

The Native’s trust us and believe we won’t take all of their acres, and that we would be careful, so we should drill.  Even George W. Bush and his admission said it was a good idea because it would create more jobs and it would ensure businesses.  Also, 50% of Americans supported the idea of drilling in Alaska in the year of 2008.  If half of Americans support the idea of the drilling, we should go ahead and do it.  Yes, there is still the other half, but every senator, governor, legislator, and representative of Alaska are backing the idea of drilling.

In conclusion, I believe that we should drill in Alaska for oil.  I talked about this for many reasons and I hope you picked up on a few.  Yes, I know there are still the people out there saying, “No,” and you might even be one of those people, but hopefully I have changed your mind about it. 

Childhood Gone Wrong

Authors Note: In the book “A Child Called “It”, a little boy is very abused by his mother. She treats him poorly and he rarely gets to eat and he didn’t have a normal life.  I am glad I’m not treated like this.  This is a book that many people should read because it will fill you with sadness throughout the entire book. It is a difficult book to read because of the events that happen, but people should be more aware of child abuse and should come out of this book thinking “Wow, that kid must feel gruesome after his beatings.”

Out of all reported child abuse cases 55% are just from neglect.  The other percentages contain physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. One type of abuse is no better than the other even though it might sound better, you wouldn’t know unless you have experienced abuse.  I know abuse is awful and I know that people know that, but do they really know all the details to abuse and how the child feels?

“Now, I even think God hates me,” says “It” or David the little boy in the book.  Because God doesn’t hate those who believe in him, the mother is obviously brainwashing him.  David thinks this because he’s young and he doesn’t know any better simply because he is still a child.  I know that if I were in this position, I would kick and hit my mother if she did this to me because she has no reason at all for treating her son like this.  I know that if I did this I would get beat even more, but at least she would become weaker than before and she will continue weakening until she has no more strength to violate me.

Even though I don’t know her, I despise this mother because she abuses her son for no apparent reason.  She has NO reason to treat her child like this.  If I were the little boy “David,” I would demand my dad to drive me somewhere safe and far away from my mother as possible.  I would make sure that she wouldn’t find out or that anyone told her.  I feel so bad for this little boy because he didn’t do anything wrong! 

Dave has no one to love him, even his father.  His father is afraid to stand up for what his kid wants and what he wants.  I believe that he feels this way because he is an alcoholic.  I made an inference that his dad was an alcoholic because in the book they said he was repeatedly coming home drunk.  I would hate a Dad like this because I would know that there is an escape but my Dad was always too drunk enough to realize it.

Do you really know all the details behind child abuse and how it feels?  I know one abuse may sound better than the other, but it’s not, and people need to be aware of that.  Twenty seven percent of reported child abuse cases are just from physical.  The others are made of neglect, emotional, and sexual abuse. I hate child abuse and it should be stopped ASAP!
